This thesis investigates experiences of belonging and being Canadian among first-generation Canadian Middle Eastern women through one-on-one interviews with 13 women. Since the election of Justin Trudeau in 2015, Canada has recommitted to bolstering discourses of multiculturalism. There have been, however, lasting impacts from mainstream discourses that followed 9/11, which positioned Middle Eastern women as imperiled and Middle Eastern culture as backward. Additionally, liberal multiculturalism in Canada has done little to address systemic racism, and instead encourages a superficial level of acceptance. Contradictions of multiculturalism can be found in the narratives of these women, who sometimes repeat discourses that do not benefit them. Conversely, women who have access to discourses that position multiculturalism as ideological, have a difficult time expressing a Canadian identity and display a critical understanding of their experiences. These narratives are considered in a wider context of how race and racism structure Canada today.

Abstract In an interview, the Iranian painter Ahmad Esfandiari (1922–2012) related that he witnessed a particularly difficult time at the beginning of his career, when he did not know what direction his work might take. Slowly he overcame this fear of the unknown and discovered ‘the pleasure of uncharted paths’. But the critics did not see any social value in his work (Mojabi 1998: 155). In his testimony, Ahmad Esfandiari described the tumultuous 1940s, during which an innovative pictorial style called ‘New Painting’ appeared in Iran. Contrary to popular opinion, contemporary Iranian painting did not begin in the 1960s with the Saqqakhaneh group of artists. Its origins can be found in the 1940s. In this article, conceived as a manifesto, I introduce the first generation of New Painting artists and I argue against a canon that has overlooked them in spite of their innovative accomplishments and profound impact.

Abstract Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia in women and men worldwide and in the Middle East. Several studies have shown that women with AF are undertreated despite worse baseline clinical and risk profiles compared with men. It is largely unknown if this also applies to Middle Eastern AF patients. Purpose To evaluate baseline clinical features and utilization of guideline-recommended oral anticoagulant medications (OACs) in Middle Eastern women with AF. Methods The Jordan AF prospective multicenter study enrolled 2160 patients with AF, including 1164 (53.9%) women, in 20 hospital and outpatient clinics (May 2019 through January 2021). Results Nonvalvular AF was present in 1038 (91.0%) of women and 935 (94.6%) of men. Compared with men, women were older (mean age 69.2±11.5 years vs. 66.1±14.9 years, p<0.001), and had higher prevalence of hypertension (79.1% vs. 69.5%, p<0.001), diabetes (46.1% vs. 41.7%, p=0.04) and obesity (60.5% vs. 34.6%, p<0.001). Women, however, had lower prevalence of two comorbidities; heart failure (21.5% vs. 28.6, p=0.001) and coronary artery disease (7.7% vs. 15.4%, p<0.001) compared with men. Rate of utilization of oral anticoagulant agents (OACs) was higher in women than men with high and intermediate CHA2DS2 VASc scores (Table). Direct OACs were used in 64.0% of women and 63.3% of men with high risk score (p=NS). Multivariate analysis did not show sex to be an independent predictor of use of OACs. Conclusions Middle Eastern women with AF have worse baseline clinical and risk score profiles compared with men. In disagreement with other regional studies, the majority of these women received guideline-recommended OACs. FUNDunding Acknowledgement Type of funding sources: None.

Beyond the geographical borders of the Middle East, discourses and debates about Middle Eastern women played an important role in the Arabic immigrant press inthe Mahjar (diaspora). This article explores the particular case of al-Istiklaal in the final moments and aftermath of the Great Syrian Revolt, “the largest, longest, andmost destructive of the Arab Middle Eastern revolts” (Provence, 2005, p. 12). From its first issue in June 1926 until late 1929, this Arab-Argentine newspaper systematically attacked the French Mandate and advocated for an independent Syria and Lebanon, which should be part of a larger pan-Arab political entity.

The concept of vestigial Neolithic was presented by A.T. Sinyuk in his thesis and hasnt undergone any significant changes. It was based on statistical and stratigraphic observations of Universitetskaya 3 settlement. Here three Neolithic stages and the fourth stage vestigial Neolithic were identified. Its beginning was connected with the appearance of the population of the lower Don Eneolithic culture on the Middle Don, which contacted with the tribes of fish culture. The findings were based on the assumption that the economy of the Rybnoserskaya culture was appropriating, while the economy of the Nizhnedonskaya culture was producing. The possibility of their coexistence was explained by the rich ecological resources of the forest-steppe Don, as well as the focus on the extraction of different food resources. New materials have not confirmed the Neolithic nature of the Nizhnedonskaya culture. The topography of the settlements indicates that both local and alien tribes occupied the same ecological niche. The beginning of the Eneolithic period on the Middle Don should be associated with the Middle Eastern culture, the population of which displaced or assimilated the aborigines. There wasnt any period of coexistence of Eneolithic and Neolithic (survivable) cultures either on the Middle Don, or in the forest-steppe Volga region.
